AAC products include blocks wall panels floor and roof panels and lintels. Besides insulating capability one of AAC s advantages in construction is its quick and easy installation since the material can be routed sanded and cut to size on site using standard carbon steel band saws hand saws and drills. Although ACC is being produced for many years there are still some points that need to be clarified. One of these points is humidity intrusion effects on AAC members in areas with high relative humidity levels of Mediterranean climates which are important in durability and insulation properties of AAC.
